I am acting for the Executrix of Warren

Delabere Barnes, late Colonial Secretary at

Hong Kong, who died on October 28th 1911.

I understand that for many years past,

the deceased subscribed to a Service Pension

Fund, the subscription being deducted from

his salary. I should feel extremely obliged

pecuniary

if you would infron me whether any benefit

will now accrue to the deceased's estate by

reason of such subscriptions.

I may add

that the deceased died a bachelor.

I presume that arrears of salary (if

ang) due to the deceased's estate will be

113

payable at Hong Kong and not direct to my

client in this country.

I am, Sir,

Your obedient Servant,

-Batter morritt
